say someone has really fucked up eyebrows and they just look horrible and they continue to do their eyebrows the same way even though they look like shit. do you tell them? i mean, it's not like saying they have a fat ass or big nose or something; it's something they could easily change.

i find it comparable to telling someone they have food in their teeth. you don't want someone walking around looking like a fool.

or is that just rude?

which do you say?


"i was standing in line."

or

"i was standing on line."



i always say the first. the second one is so awkward.

when people post photos of themselves and someone else and say, "[person's name] and i." it should be "[person's name] and me."
if you were posting a photo of yourself alone, you wouldn't say "i", you would say "me". i see this CONSTANTLY on facebook (where i've been spending too much time.)

anyway, i think people do it because they think it sounds correct and saying "and me" sounds wrong, but it's not in this instance. if you're unsure about "i" vs. "me", just remove the other person's name.


examples:

"mary and i went to the store." correct
"mary and me went to the store." incorrect
why? if you removed mary, "i went to the store" is accurate. "me went to the store" is not.


"steve saw mary and me at the store." correct
"steve saw mary and i at the store." incorrect
why? if you removed mary, "steve saw me at the store" is accurate. "steve saw i at the store" is not.


and don't even get me started on "mary and myself". i have a certain ex who felt the need to talk like that all the time. "if you have a problem, see mary or myself." once again, take out the "mary" and see if it makes sense. it doesn't. i don't understand why reflexive pronouns present such a problem to people.



there you go. another lesson from the should-have-been-an-english-teacher.

fuck

in case you missed it in the news, christian bale went all balls-out vulgar nutty on some light guy on the set of the new terminator movie.

anyway, this being the internets and all, someone took the shit he said and made it into a techno song. so, i present to you, my new favorite song:

tell me about your god(s)

OMG IT'S BIFF FROM THE BACK TO THE FUTURE TRILOGY!

the band ARCADE FIRE totally rocks my socks. seriously. my socks are totally rocking right now.

two tracks i recommend to blow your mind:

neighborhood #1 (tunnels)
black wave / bad vibrations


this is my latest, greatest discovery. i've been listening to a lot of them and music from silent hill 2 and silent hill 3. akira yamaoka is amazing. i've listened to those soundtracks for many years now and they're still so beautiful.

speaking of silent hill, i watched the movie again the other day (i've seen it so many times) and i think a real fan of the video game would really appreciate it. don't look at it as another horror movie with lame acting; there's just so much more than that. so many throw backs to the games and the story is actually pretty deep. strange, but deep. i want to watch it again. i might do that today. i'm totally snowed in.


another great, semi-recent band discovery is interpol. i recommend pretty much anything on turn on the bright lights. also, the song "pioneer to the falls" is one that's so amazing i just listen to it on repeat. oh, interpol. they're so wonderful.

the duggar family really pisses me off, and yet, i'm oddly fascinated by them. i've been watching their show 17 kids and counting and... i don't know, i just really don't like them. i think it's totally selfish to have so many kids (and not even spend time with them.)

but whatever, i keep watching. i'm strange like that.


in case you don't know anything about them, let me break it down for you:

- they have eighteen kids (michelle just popped out number 18 last month. time to change the show's title!)
- they are home schooled, have limited internet access, and watch very little tv.
- they are (obviously) very conservative and religious. they follow the quiverfull movement, which basically means that every child is a gift from god. that means no birth control. just babies, babies, babies.
- all of their children have names that start with "j". i would list them all, but just no. go to the wiki page linked above if you're that curious. but i will mention "jinger" (pronounced "ginger") just because i feel so bad for her having that awful name.
- they don't believe in any sexual relations before marriage. yes, that includes kissing. actually, they don't believe in being alone together before marriage. chaperones are always present.
- THEY DON'T LET THEIR DAUGHTERS GO TO COLLEGE. a woman's place is in the home, right? the girls are also not allowed to wear pants (it pleases the lord), wear makeup, or cut their hair. oh, and they're required to perm their hair because jim bob (their dad) likes the way it looks.
- each child has a buddy (one older, one younger). the older child helps the younger child with everything. basically, the younger ones are pawned off on their older siblings while michelle and jim bob make more babies.
- all of the boys share one room and the girls share another.
- no one has their own clothes. everyone shares from one giant closet.
- jim bob can't remember all of his children's birthdays.
- the children have a sign up sheet to spend time with their parents.



i really don't know what else to say. i just really don't like them, but i can't help but read about them and watch their show.

i was just watching the mary martin version of peter pan on youtube. i haven't seen that since i was really, really young. i used to LOVE that movie. i never realized how incredibly cheesy and ridiculous it was.

best part? tiger lily, of course!





p.s. if you feel like watching the movie... :)

OMG, i found the funniest site!

you type in some sort of english sentence or phrase and then, it translates it back and forth from french to english to german to english, and so on until, like a game of telephone, your original phrase becomes totally fucked.

for example:

i think i stubbed my toe on a big, wooden table.

became:

load where unrooted in the great one means the toe, of countings of the wood.

CHECK IT OUT

i decided to do something a bit random. so here's a picspam of christina aguilera circa her "stripped" and "dirrty" era. let's marvel at ludicrousity of it all. and i don't care if ludicrousity isn't a word; it fucking is now.

i don't care what you say, this is a fierce bitch.

FIERCE BITCH

( christina, you nasty.Collapse )

i just really want to see some dicks right now. people, post pictures of your dicks.
and don't be funny about it, like showing pictures of your boss or something. i want PEEN. PEEN. PEEN.

you can throw in some tits if you want to, i suppose. but give me cock.

what are your thoughts on:

fur?
vintage fur?
fake fur?
leather?
vintage leather?
pleather?

someone please explain to me the appeal of:

- gossip girl
- world of warcraft
- twilight
- high school musical


for some reason, these four things are all i ever hear about anymore from anyone and i want to know why they're relevant and if i should be jumping on any of these bandwagons. i could google or whatever, but i'd rather hear from anyone bored enough to read my journal if they have opinions or information.

i voted. :)

i don't care what anyone says, cloverfield was great and i could watch it again right now even though i just finished watching it like a half hour ago.

ok, somebody here has to watch weeds, right? i need to discuss the finale. who watches it? anyone?

who should i vote for and why?

i am being extremely open minded in this question and would appreciate intelligent answers. i'm very ignorant of the nominees and would be interested to hear your opinions and what we, as a country, would stand to gain or lose with any candidate.

i'm also interested in hearing who i should NOT vote for and why. no trashing and bashing, please. i'd just for once like to have a political dialogue where everyone is civil. i don't plan to contribute much because, like i said, i don't know much.


enlighten me. :)

ALOT is a town and a nagar panchayat in Ratlam district in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India.

this is not to be confused with the term A LOT, which means "numerous" or "many".

Could I have AIDS from drinking the wine at Church? If someone with cancer or what drank it before me?

i love this idea. i really hope it gains popularity here in the US and i really, really hope that, by the time i die, we'll have some of those cemeteries here in ohio.

i really love the word hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.

i miss the fun of shopping for new school supplies.

that's so fucked up. try it.

the first time i saw her, she was just counter clockwise. no exceptions. now, i can see her going both counter clockwise AND clockwise. bitch is possessed or something.


what do you see? clockwise or counter clockwise?

hiatus is over. i just officially finished HP 7.

let me just say a few things:
- i expected a LOT more out of this.
- the deaths were lame.
- the last chapter should've been much longer and included a lot more.
- every single prediction i had about this book came true. LAME.


in terms of the HP world, here's how they rank to me (best to worst)

HP5 order of the phoenix
HP1 sorcerer's stone
HP3 prisoner of azkaban
HP2 chamber of secrets
HP4 goblet of fire
HP6 half blood prince
HP7 BULLSHIT

i'm kinda drunk and cat macros are the funniez

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

i'm FINALLY finished resizing all of my centralia photos. they can be found HERE.

( here's a teaser...Collapse )

i don't know, i just felt like updating again.

LOST sucks now.

why? why was ugly betty, which i taped and just tried to watch, IN SPANISH?!? wtf abc? seriously. was it in spanish for anyone else? i know it's not my vcr because i taped stuff last night and they were in ENGLISH.

for some reason, i seem to always miss ugly betty or have to watch it online. i am sad now.

Dying woman loses marijuana appeal By DAVID KRAVETS, Associated Press Writer


SAN FRANCISCO - A California woman whose doctor says marijuana is the only medicine keeping her alive is not immune from federal prosecution on drug charges, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.

The case was brought by Angel Raich, an Oakland mother of two who suffers from scoliosis, a brain tumor, chronic nausea and other ailments. On her doctor's advice, she eats or smokes marijuana every couple of hours to ease her pain and bolster a nonexistent appetite as conventional drugs did not work.

The Supreme Court ruled against Raich two years ago, saying that medical marijuana users and their suppliers could be prosecuted for breaching federal drug laws even if they lived in a state such as California where medical pot is legal.

Because of that ruling, the issue before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was narrowed to the so-called right to life theory: that marijuana should be allowed if it is the only viable option to keep a patient alive.

Raich, 41, began sobbing when she was told of the decision and said she would continue using the drug.

"I'm sure not going to let them kill me," she said. "Oh my God."






i don't know, i think that's fucking ridiculous. pot should definitely be legal. i could go into the many reasons why i believe that AND why i think this country is fucking insane, but it'll start a rant that i don't have the time for right now. but yeah, this is bullshit.

i ate too many lemonheads and now my tongue hurts. :(

i miss my old sticker book. remember when sticker books were all the rage? at least, they were here. it must've been 15 years ago or something. everyone had the sticker books with the glossy pages and we'd all collect stickers. and i had plain stickers which were BORING, and the fuzzy stickers which were SO CUTE and those "oily" stickers with that weird, oily liquid stuff inside of them and those were the coolest things ever. and i used to trade stickers with my friends and we used to go to the store that sold the best stickers all the time and use all of our change beg for more money from our parents to buy stickers and we'd also buy the giant lemonheads because they were only five cents and they were so sour, but so good. mmmm, i wish i had some of those now. lemonheads are awesome.

but i never had a lemonhead sticker. :(

what do you think would be the worst, most painful way to die?



really think about it. use this link if you have to.



personally, i think being boiled in oil (which has a much higher boiling point than water), burned or roasted alive slowly, or being sawed in half upside down would be the worst.

"you can't always have happiness
but you can always give happiness."

i really like that.


oh, and by the way, i haven't had a cigarette in 3 weeks and 2 days. and it has been EASY. wtf?!!

have you ever seen a ghost or been in the presence of one or a haunted place? tell me your stories. lately, it's all anyone can talk about, for some reason.

i am so fucking sick of those stupid police people calling me asking for donations for whatever the fuck drive thing they're doing and then trying to make me feel guilty when i tell them i can't afford it. i can understand the solicitation because that's all anyone does anymore, but don't try to make me feel like a bad person just because i'm poor.

yes, it's a crazy fucking blizzard here. but of course, i still had to work today. and let me tell you just how much fun it is to drive on an unplowed freeway with a bunch of morons who don't know how to drive in the snow.

home now and staying in all night and all throughout tomorrow. yahoo.

zephanian? fawn?... oh, those poor children. let's hope she reconsiders.



so yeah, i like to discuss baby names, mainly because i like new names to use for my stories. and i suppose it'll come in handy one day when i get knocked up, although i'm pretty sure i know what i'm going to name my kid(s).

what are your favourite baby names? (not including your children's names, if you have any.)

( mineCollapse )

clapping is so weird.

i'm always really behind on what's popular on the internets and whatnot, so i'm trying desperately to catch up, not only in an attempt to understand pop culture references, but also because i need a distraction from the disastrous things in my life.

anyway, my mission right now is to catch up on... lonelygirl15. i'm currently watching her videos on youtube and it's so... wtf? yes, i know it's all fake, i knew that awhile ago (see? i'm not that out of it.) but it's still pretty strange. why the phenomenon? the videos are pretty boring.



what other outdated internet phenomena do i need to catch up on? reminisce here, because chances are that i'm not familiar with it and i'm going to need something to keep my mind busy, since i'm almost out of simpsons seasons to borrow from my brother.

how was your new year's?

i got my canon digital rebel xt. yay.
